Private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds

To cope with needs for funds in the longer term and allow more diversified and flexible funding channels, the AGM is urged to authorize the board to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine issuing GDRs through cash capital increases, conducting domestic cash capital increases by issuing common shares, and privately offering foreign convertible corporate bonds at appropriate times depending on market circumstances and needs for funds.

According to Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities, the aforementioned privately offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is described as follows:

(1)
Basis and reasonableness of private offering price:

The issue price for the private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is set to be not lower than 80% of the formula price referred to in the Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities. For the actual issue price, the shareholders meeting will be requested to grant the board of directors the authority to set the price according to the law and not below the range approved by the shareholders meeting and depending on current market and company circumstances. The price for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is set according to the regulations and in consideration of the strict restrictions for transfer timing, recipient, and quantity of the privately offered securities. In addition, the shares converted from the corporate bonds may not be publicly listed for three years of the delivery. The price for this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is deemed to be reasonable under the terms and factors such as weaker liquidity.

(2)
Selection method and purpose for designated persons, necessity, and expected benefits:

The offeree selection procedure shall follow the rules under Article 43-6 of the Securities and Exchange Act and the previous order (91) Tai-Cai-Zheng-1 No. 0910003455 on June 13, 2002 from the Securities and Futures Commission of the Ministry of Finance. The purpose for selecting offerees is to introduce strategic investors. A strategic investor refers to an individual or corporate entity that, for the purpose of increasing the Company's profits, assists the Company to enhance technology, improve quality, increase efficiency, and expand market through vertical or horizontal industrial integration or collaboration in product or market development. The selection of offerees shall be decided by the board of directors as authorized by the shareholders meeting. The purpose, necessity, and expected benefits are to meet the demands of the Company's operations by having private offering investors provide the Company with assistance in enhancing technology, improving quality, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding the market in order to strengthen the Company's competitiveness and improve operational efficiency and long term development.

(3)
The necessity, use of funds, and expected benefits:

 
1.  
Reasons against a public offering: The choice of a private offering is in support of the Company's future business development and plans to introduce strategic investors and in consideration of the time sensitiveness, convenience, issue costs and shareholder stability provided by a private offering. In addition, privately offered securities are restricted from free transfers under the Securities and Exchange Act, and the rule will ensure a long term partnership between the Company and its strategic investors.

 
2.  
Maximum amount of private offering: This private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds is subject to a maximum of NT$15 billion or the equivalent in foreign currencies. However, the actual amount of the private offering shall be determined according to the applicable regulations and financial market circumstances at the time. When a convertible corporate bond holder obtains common shares of the Company by exercising the conversion right, the number of shares is calculated based on the conversion price at the time of conversion.
 
 
3.  
Use of funds and expected benefits: This private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds may be made by the board of directors as

authorized by the shareholders meeting within one year of the passing of the resolution. The raised capital is expected to be used for one or more purposes of capital expenditure, providing for working capital increases, repaying bank loans, and reinvestments. In addition, it is expected that the fund will be completely used within three years after the private offering is completed. The expected benefits include a positive impact on shareholder rights and one or more of strengthened position in the industry, enhanced long term competitiveness, improved financial structure, and savings in interest expenses. However, the actual private offering and the schedule for the use of funds shall depend on the Company's needs for funds, regulations, and financial market circumstances.
 
(4)
Rights and obligations associated with converting corporate bonds to common shares

The rights and obligations associated with the common shares converted from this private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds are identical to those associated with the existing common shares of the Company. However, the listing and resale of such common shares shall be subject to the rules under the Securities and Exchange Act. Private offerings of foreign convertible corporate bonds shall be conducted in compliance with the letter from the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Executive Yuan, Jin-Guan-Zheng-1 No. 09700513881 on October 21, 2008.

(5)
The private offering plan includes primarily the issue and conversion rules, actual private offering price, private offering terms, plan items, amounts, scheduled progress and expected benefits, and other matters potentially related to the issue plan. The shareholders meeting will be requested to authorize the board of directors to make adjustments at its full discretion according to the Company's financial needs, financial market circumstances, and relevant regulations. The shareholders meeting will also be requested to authorize the board of directors to make modification or correction at its full discretion in response to future changes in regulations, orders from competent authorities, or changes in market circumstances, business assessments, or objective environmental conditions.

(6)  
In order to complete the private offering of foreign convertible corporate bonds, the shareholders meeting will also be requested to authorize the chairman of the board or a designated person to represent the Company in signing all relevant contracts and documents and complete all subsequent procedures for the Company.

(7)  
For matters that are not covered herein, the shareholders meeting will be requested to authorize the board of directors to, in accordance with law, proceed at its discretion.

Matters for Discussion

 
 
Case 1 (proposed by the Board of Directors)
 
Proposal:
 
To discuss whether to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine cash capital increase by issuing common shares and GDR, domestic cash capital increase by issuing common shares, and privately offered foreign convertible corporate bonds.
 
Explanation:
 
To finance future capacity expansion, provide for working capital increases, repay bank loans, or cope with other needs for funds in the longer term, the Company is urged to authorize the board of directors to consecutively or simultaneously select one of or combine issuing GDRs through cash capital increases, conducting domestic cash capital increases by issuing common shares, and privately offering foreign convertible corporate bonds according to articles of incorporation, relevant regulations and the following rules.
 
1. The principles to issue new common shares and GDR for capital increase in cash shall be as follows:
 
(1)    This capital increase by issuing common shares and GDR shall not exceed 500 million shares with the board of directors authorized to decide how many shares to be issued depending on market circumstances.
 
(2)    The price at which shares are issued via issuance of GDRs through cash capital increases shall not fall below 90% of the simple arithmetic mean of the share's closing price on the date the issue price is set and its closing price one, three or five days prior to the price-setting date after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends (or cancelled shares for capital reduction) as per "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by Taiwan Securities Association. If relevant regulations change, the pricing method may be changed accordingly. As share prices often fluctuate substantially in a short time, the president is authorized to set the issue price by following international practices after consulting the underwriter and considering international capital markets' circumstances, domestic market prices, and the book building status. The GDR's issue price is decided based on the fair market price of the company's common stock. Original shareholders who did not participate in the offering, if for the purpose of maintaining shareholding structure, may purchase common stock in Taiwan's stock market at a price close to the GDR's issue price without having to assume exchange and liquidity risks. In addition, shares issued via issuance of GDRs through cash capital increases will
 
 
 
-16-

 
 
   
dilute the original shareholders' equity to a maximum of 6.57%, not a major impact on shareholders' rights and interests.
 
(3)   10%~15% of common shares issued for this capital increase in cash shall, according to Article 267 of The Company Act, be reserved for subscription by company employees and the shareholders meeting will be requested to fully appropriated the remaining 85%~90% for open issuance as the securities for GDR as the original shareholders have waived their rights for subscription in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act. For the part that employees have not subscribed, the president is authorized to contact specific party for purchase or, depending on the market requirements, list as the original securities for participation in the issuance of GDR.
 
(4)   The funds raised by shares issued via issuance of GDRs through this cash capital increases shall be used to expanding the factories, purchase equipment, purchase materials overseas, make reinvestments, and/or repay bank loans. Implementation shall be completed within 2 years after the funds are raised. The project is expected to boost the Company's competitiveness, improve its efficiency, and have a positive impact on shareholders' rights and interests.
 
(5)   The board of directors is authorized to adjust, set, and administer the major contents of the cash capital increase by GDR issuance plan, which includes issuance rules, source of capital, plan items, estimated progress and estimated probable effect generated as well as other matters relevant to the issuance of GDR, according to market conditions. If a cash capital increase must be changed as ordered by the regulatory authority or required by circumstances, the board of directors is authorized to make corresponding changes.
 
(6)   In conjunction with the issuance method of common shares for this capital increase in cash and participation in GDR issuance, the president or his designated representative is authorized to represent the Company in signing all documents related to the participation in the issuance of GDR as well as handling all needed matters.
 
2.    The principles for domestic cash capital increase by issuing common shares:
 
(1)    The number of common shares issued for this domestic cash capital increase may not exceed 500 million shares.
 
(2)    Face value of shares issued via cash capital increases is NT$10 per share. The issue price shall be decided by the president after consulting the underwriter as per "Self-imposed Rules Governing Underwriters Assisting Companies in Issuing Securities" announced by Taiwan Securities Association and market conditions at time of issue and filed
 
 
-17-

 
 
   
with the regulatory authority.

For an existing shareholder who holds less than enough shares to subscribe one new share, joint subscription with other shareholders or combined subscription by one person will be allowed; any existing shareholder who does not subscribe authorizes the president to subscribe at the issue price from the designated person.
 
B. If book building is selected:
 
Apart from the 10%~15% of the issued shares to be reserved for employee subscription at the actual issue price according to Article 267 of the Company Act, the remaining shares will be subject to Article 28-1 of the Securities Exchange Act, and the existing shareholders waive the right to subscribe before the shares all become publicly offered based on the book building method. In addition, if the Company’s employees have not subscribed sufficiently and adequately or waived the right to subscribe, the chairman may contact specific party for purchase.

Business Report
 
The weakening trend of 2011 persisted in the global economy, and the European debt crisis has spread to European countries including Spain and Italy in 2012. The economic recovery in the United States had also slowed down in 2012, while the Chinese economy cooled down to the lowest point in recent years. All of the elements above had a severe impact on the global economy. Taiwan cannot separate itself from the global economy, and its economic performance sustained a significant impact. When combined with the various policy reforms last year, the conditions in Taiwan have become more challenging, and the overall economy has cooled down in terms of both imports and exports. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS), the global semiconductor sales fell by 2.7% in 2012. According to the report from the IEK ITIS Project, the semiconductor industry in Taiwan produced an output of NT$1,634.2 billion in 2012, a growth of 4.6% compared to 2011. In spite of excellent growth in the IC packaging and testing industry from smartphones and tablets, the weak PC sales evened out the performance of the industry as a whole. The output of the packaging industry amounted to NT$272 billion, a growth of 0.9% compared to 2011. The output of the testing industry amounted to NT$121.5 billion, a growth of 0.6% compared to 2011. In the face of the harsh, challenging conditions, the Company will exercise caution in meeting the changes in the macro environment. The following is our report on the company’s operation for the past year:

"2012 Operating Results"
 
1.     Implementation results for the 2012 business plan
 
The Company’s combined revenues for 2012 were NT$194 billion, an increase of NT$8.6 billion and a growth of 4.7% compared to 2011. For semiconductor packaging and testing services, the Company's combined revenue in 2012 was NT$130 billion, a growth of 1.9%. The revenue from advanced packaging services reached US$246 million with a quarterly growth of 25% in 2012 Q4; and US$834 million for the entire year with an annual growth of 27%. The Company's revenue from copper wire bonding was US$500 million in 2012, and copper wire bonding accounted for 60% of the total revenue as of Q4, far exceeding the industry average of 20%. In spite of the US$600 million dollar decrease in gold wire bonding revenue, the change in revenue was primarily caused by the larger shift from gold to copper. Therefore, even if the sales volume had remained unchanged, the revenue would have fallen anyway. In addition, the gold price was weak in 2012, leading to lower costs and positive benefits for the Company's profitability.

2.     Budget performance
 
No financial forecast was disclosed in 2012.

3.     Analysis of financial accounts and profitability
 
As of the end of 2012, the Company's paid-in capital was NT$75,941,496 thousands and shareholders' equity NT$109,514,885 thousands, accounting for 58% of total assets of NT$189,000,561 thousands. Its long-term funds are 252% of fixed assets and current ratio 42%. This year's
 
 
 
-22-

 
 
ratios are slightly lower than those in the preceding year, but the Company's financial structure and ability to repay debts are relatively sound. This year's operating profit was NT$10,732,774 thousands, a decrease of NT$126,358 thousands compared to 2011. Under the overall unfavorable economic conditions, the Company strived for a stable position in the semiconductor packaging and testing services. This year's after-tax net profit rose to NT$13,091,359 thousands, a 4.6% decrease compared to the previous year. The Company's overall operational performance, compared to the conservative approach in the main areas of business, was satisfactory.

4.     R&D Overview
 
As cloud computing emerges and smart mobile devices such as cell phones and tablets become more popular, the demands of advanced semiconductor chip packaging and testing markets are now a growing trend. The Company continues with the three focuses of product development:  Advanced packaging, advanced copper wire bonding and low-pin-count packaging drove the Company's successes and global competitive advantages to be applied in the advanced technologies including 28-nanometer advanced packaging, flip-chip assembly, wafer copper pillar bumps, and 3D packaging. New technologies successfully developed by the Company in 2012 developed are categorized as follows: (1) Flip-chip assembly is extended to 28 nano copper process / nano copper process of wafers with an ultra-low dielectric coefficient with tin and lead-free flip-chip assembly FCBGA / FCCSP and other applications and new mass production. (2) Wire-bond assembly is extended to 28 nano copper / gold wire-bond assembly of wafers with an ultra-low dielectric coefficient and other applications and new mass production, 18 μm copper wire bond assembly. (3) For 3D packaging, 300mm 28 nm 3D stacked flip chip packaging with through silicon vias, RF wireless Wi-Fi + BT + GPS+ FM system module solutions, and integrated microelectromechanical systems. (4) For wafer assembly, tin-silver electroplated lead-free bumps and 40 μm Pitch Cu Pillar Bump. (5) Faced with the eco-friendly product development trends around the world, the Company has adopted a green design strategy, which is built on the basis of eco-friendly packaged products and supported by eco-design in order to begin with product design and introduction of new technology and combine specification considerations such as low pollution, low energy consumption, and water conservation and other environmentally friendly elements as well as operational safety. It is hoped that the products' potential impact on the environment may be considered and the risks be reduced as soon as possible.

"Outline of 2013 Business Plan"
 
1.     Operating policy
(1) Providing customers with a first-class service (2) creating long-term, stable profits for the Company and customers (3) working with partner firms to jointly create a prosperous future (4) being as flexible as possible in its business dealings.

2.     Projects sales volume and references
In light of current industry dynamics, future market demand and ASE’s capacity, the projected sales volume for 2013 is as follows:

Item
Project Sales
Assembly
Approx. 13 billion chips
Test
Approx. 1.9 billion chips

3.     Important production and sales policies
 
 
-23-

 
 
The Company's capital expenditures continued to rise in 2012 to allow production capacity and technology to reach the intended levels earlier than expected. As the 28 nm production becomes more mature, the wafer outsourcing services continued to progress toward the 20 nm production while the demand for advanced packaging remained strong. In addition, the copper wire bonding process capability stayed in a leading position, and the Company's long term commitment to technology can be expected to come to fruition. 2013 will be the year in which copper wire bonding's growth base period will exceed that of gold wire bonding. It is expected that the wire bonding revenue will grow in 2013 without being subject to the interference of price changes in gold and copper wire bonding products. As the global economy lost momentum, the demand turned to the age of miniscule profit, which led to changes in the structure of the industry. Integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) would keep releasing relatively mid- and low end packaging and testing orders in order to increase operational efficiency. The Company has the most comprehensive production capacity in this aspect and the closest relationship with IDMs, and so has the best opportunity to reap the benefits. The Company remains optimistic about the outlook of the packaging and testing industry and the growth in the demand of IDM outsourcing packaging and testing and copper process. The Company has been investing a lot of effort in IDMs for years, and IDM clients currently accounts for close to 40% of its revenue. The Company is confident about raising the revenue contribution from IDMs and staying more competitive than the other companies. Meanwhile, the competitive gap between the Company and its competitors will continue to be widened for the copper process.

"Development Strategy"

Looking forward to the semiconductor industry in 2013, market instability will remain high, but the demand for advanced production capacity will stay unreduced. In terms of the macroeconomy, though the semiconductor industry's performance fell below expectations in the last two years, Japan and the United States have started to show improvement, and so the risk of Europe and China deteriorating has temporarily been alleviated. As long as there is no major changes in the world, Gartner has proposed that the annual output of the semiconductor industry in 2013 can be expected to reach the target of 4.5%. From a broad perspective, economic conditions and the cycle nature of the packaging and testing industry have always had an impact on the Company's net profit. However, the Company's global strategies of extending the reach of its sales, combining production capacity and products, and entering new markets and helping clients promote sales have proven suitable long term development tactics for the Company's continuing success. It is obvious that the semiconductor industry is sitting at the top of a wave of global technological transformation, and the Company faces opportunities in the transformation process. The Company continued to expand its business and achieved nearly 5% in revenue growth in 2012 compared to the same period last year, reaching yet another record high. The Company is committed to its promises to the shareholders, clients, partners, and employees, which have laid a solid foundation for the Company's growth, especially in the age of mobile communication and business optimization.

"Impacts of Competition, Legislation and Operating Environment"

Under the current conditions, the worries over the fiscal cliff in the United States continued from last year and the global economy will remain uncertain in 2013. There seems to be
 
 
-24-

 
 
no solution for the European debt crisis any time soon. The economic outlook in China is unclear and the major countries around the world will adopt quantitative easing to stimulate their economies, which will indirectly cause uncontrollable hot money flows and inflationary pressure. We cannot afford not to be conservative about the economic performance in 2013. However, after the adjustment period in which demand decreases and inventory increases over the last two years, it is believed that the semiconductor industry will start to grow again in the next few years. The demand for smartphones and tablets in the emerging markets will grow rapidly, which in turn will drive the semiconductor industry forward. We look forward to a stronger relationship of trust and cooperation between the employees and shareholders of the Company in meeting the challenges in the coming year together and sharing the fruit of success.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT


The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China.  Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with the Guidelines Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the requirements of the Business Accounting Law and Guidelines Governing Business Accounting relevant to financial accounting standards, and accounting principles generally accepted in the Republic of China.

We have also audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, and have issued an unqualified opinion.




March 4, 2013
Notice to Readers

The accompanying financial statements are intended only to present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions.  The standards, procedures and practices to audit such financial statements are those generally accepted and applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.  If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Republic of China) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, all expressed in New Taiwan dollars.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China (“ROC”) and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States of America).  Those rules and standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the ROC differ in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our audits also comprehended the translation of New Taiwan dollar amounts into U.S. dollar amounts and, in our opinion, such translation has been made in conformity with the basis stated in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  Such U.S. dollar amounts are presented solely for the convenience of the readers.

 Summary of Corporate
Governance Differences
 
 
 
-79-

 

Item 16G.  Corporate Governance
 
As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, we are subject to certain corporate governance rules of the NYSE. The application of the NYSE’s corporate governance rules is limited for foreign private issuers, recognizing that they have to comply with domestic requirements. As a foreign private issuer, we must comply with the following NYSE corporate governance rules: 1) satisfy the audit committee requirements of the SEC; 2) chief executive officer must promptly notify the NYSE in writing upon becoming aware of any material non-compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance rules; 3) submit annual and interim affirmations to the NYSE regarding compliance with applicable NYSE corporate governance requirements; and 4) provide a brief description of any significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards. The table below sets forth the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.
 
New York Stock Exchange Corporate Governance
Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
Description of Significant Differences between Our Governance Practices and the NYSE Corporate Governance Rules Applicable to U.S. Companies
Director independence
Listed companies must have a majority of independent directors, as defined under the NYSE listing standards.
Two members of our board of directors are independent as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We do not assess the independence of our directors under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
 
Pursuant to relevant laws and regulations of the ROC, we have two independent directors on our board of directors that were elected through the candidate nomination system at our annual general meeting on June 21, 2012.
To empower non-management directors to serve as a more effective check on management, the non-management directors of each company must meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
All of our directors attend the meetings of the board of directors. Our non-management directors do not meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have their non-management directors meet at regularly scheduled executive sessions without management.
Nominating/Corporate governance committee
Listed companies must have a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
We do not have a nominating/corporate governance committee. The ROC Company Law does not require companies incorporated in the ROC to have a nominating/corporate governance committee.
Currently, our board of directors performs the duties of a corporate governance committee and regularly reviews our corporate governance principles and practices.
 
The ROC Company Law requires that directors be elected by shareholders. Under ROC law and regulations, companies that have independent directors are required to adopt a candidate nomination system for the election of independent directors. Our two independent directors were elected through the candidate nomination system provided in our articles of incorporation. All of our non-independent directors were elected directly by our shareholders at our
 
 
 
 
 
-80-

 
 
 
 
  shareholders meetings without a nomination process.
Compensation committee
Listed companies must have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and governed by a written charter that provides for certain responsibilities of the committee set out in the NYSE listing standards.
We have established a compensation committee on September 29, 2011 which was required by the regulations promulgated by the FSC in March 2011. The charter of such committee contains similar responsibilities as those provided under NYSE listing standards.
Audit committee
Listed companies must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act.
We have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Pursuant to the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, public companies shall either establish an audit committee or install supervisors provided that the FSC may, after considering the scale, business nature of a public company and other essential conditions, require the company to establish an audit committee in place of its supervisor.  The FSC has promulgated such compulsory ruling on February 20, 2013 (the “FSC Ruling”), and all public companies meeting the criteria provided in the FSC Ruling shall retain an audit committee no later than the expiration of the term of the current directors and supervisors.  We currently have supervisors and shall replace our supervisors by establishing an audit committee no later than the expiration of the term of our current directors and supervisors in accordance with the FSC Ruling.
The audit committee must have a minimum of three members.
We currently have two members on our audit committee. Our audit committee members satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. We do not assess the independence of our audit committee member under the independence requirements of the NYSE listing standards.
In addition to any requirement of Rule 10A-3(b)(1), all audit committee members must satisfy the independence requirements for independent directors set out in the NYSE listing standards.
The audit committee must have a written charter that provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3 and addresses certain other matters required by the NYSE listing standards.
Our audit committee charter provides for the audit committee to assist our board of directors in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditor and (iii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and provides for the duties and responsibilities set out in Rule 10A-3. Our audit committee charter does not address all the matters required by the NYSE listing standards beyond the requirements of Rule 10A-3.
 
Because the appointment and retention of our independent auditor are the responsibility of our entire board of directors under ROC law and regulations, our audit committee charter provides that the audit committee shall make recommendations to the board of directors with respect to these matters.
 
 
 
 
-81-

 
 
 
 
Each listed company must have an internal audit function.
We have an internal audit function. Under the ROC Regulations for the Establishment of Internal Control Systems by Public Companies, a public company is required to set out its internal control systems in writing, including internal audit implementation rules, which must be approved by the board of directors.
Our entire board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the establishment of the internal audit functions, compliance with the internal audit implementation rules and oversight of our internal control systems, including the appointment and retention of our independent auditor.
Equity compensation plans
Shareholders must be given the opportunity to vote on all equity compensation plans and material revisions thereto, except for employment inducement awards, certain grants, plans and amendments in the context of mergers and acquisitions, and certain specific types of plans.
We comply with the corresponding requirements of the ROC Company Law, the ROC Securities and Exchange Law, and the ROC Criteria Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, which require shareholders’ approval for the distribution of employee bonuses, while the board of directors has authority to approve employee stock option plans by a majority vote of the board of directors at a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present and to grant options to employees pursuant to such plans, subject to the approval of the Securities and Futures Bureau of the FSC, and to approve treasury stock programs and the transfer of shares to employees under such programs by a majority vote of the board of directors in a meeting where at least two-thirds of all directors are present.
Corporate governance guidelines
Listed companies must adopt and disclose corporate governance guidelines.
We currently comply with the domestic non-binding Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles for Taiwan Stock Exchange and GreTai Securities Market Listed Companies promulgated by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the GreTai Securities Market, and we provide an explanation of differences between our practice and the principles, if any, in our ROC annual report.
Code of ethics for directors, officers and employees
Listed companies must adopt and disclose a code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees, and promptly disclose any waivers of the code for directors or executive officers.
We have adopted a code of ethics that satisfies the requirements of Item 16B of Form 20-F and applies to all employees, officers, supervisors and directors of our company and our subsidiaries and will disclose any waivers of the code as required by Item 16B of Form 20-F. We have posted our code of ethics on our website.
Description of significant differences
Listed foreign private issuers must disclose any significant ways in which their corporate governance practices differ from those followed by domestic
This table contains the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required of U.S. companies under the NYSE listing standards.

companies under NYSE listing standards.  
CEO certification
Each listed company CEO must certify to the NYSE each year that he or she is not aware of any violation by the company of NYSE corporate governance listing standards, qualifying the certification to the extent necessary.
As a foreign private issuer, we are not required to comply with this rule; however, our Chief Executive Officer provides certifications under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Each listed company CEO must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after any executive officer of the listed company becomes aware of any material non-compliance with any applicable provisions of Section 303A.
We intend to comply with this requirement.
Each listed company must submit an executed Written Affirmation annually to the NYSE. In addition, each listed company must submit an interim Written Affirmation each time a change occurs to the board or any of the committees subject to Section 303A. The annual and interim Written Affirmations must be in the form specified by the NYSE.
We have complied with this requirement to date and intend to continue to comply going forward.
Website
Listed companies must have and maintain a publicly accessible website
We have and maintain a publicly accessible website.
